I have been implanted with a spinal cord stimulator in December 2006 and am currently taking trazadone 50 mg at night for sleep. I am also being weened off of cymbalta 60 mg once a day since I have been implanted with the stimulator. I have one week left of 30 mg cymbalta and I will be done taking that. I started my stimulator at .80 in December and have had to turn it up to 1.10-1.20. I can't leave it on 1.20 constantly because I get a burning feeling in my arm. The doctors had me go through about 8 months of physical therapy with little success. I just live a day to day life with pain even though some days I just wish I could go back in time and change what happened. I know I can't, but it sure would be nice. It has turned my life completely upside down. I can't go out and do everything I use to do and that is a very hard thing to live with.
